Imo Wedding Cancelled After Groom Escaped Through The Bush Over Too Much Billing

 Marriage is a beautiful thing even as the wedding day is a day of joy that consumates the institution.

But what happens when that day becomes a day to forget?

This is the case of a man who escaped through the bush out of engagement ceremony in Imo State over alleged extortion.

One Igwe Chibueze Ogadimma who shared the post said the young groom paid N1,500,000 to cater for food, tents, chairs and a public address system and was made to set aside N100,000 as the bride price that the two families had agreed on.

The groom identified as Biobelemoye David was asked to add N50,000 to the bride price because he had already impregnated the girl.

He was also said to be fined the sum of N10,000 for making a detour to the wrong path and ending up in a different homestead other than the girl's.

The groom was also alleged to pay a N15,000 fine to appease the elders who had become tired of waiting for his arrival.

Twelve girls covered in loose robes from head to toe were paraded before Biobelemoye David and he was asked to guess who his fiancée was but he unfortunately pointed at the wrong woman and that led to yet another fine of N15,000.

The elders were said to have demanded for a refund of the total sum of N850,000 to repair the bride's father's old car that knocked engine

 Biobelemoye David was said to have excused himself to visit a nearby bush to urinate, switched off his phone and was last seen at a driving heading to Bayelsa State from Imo.

That led to a halt of the wedding program.
